i was wonderin if anyone knows how to change the front suspension on a sport2 so that the car can be raised like a rally car. the hub carrier on the front suspension gets caught to the arms so that i cant raise the suspension on the front more than half an inch.

You have to cut the boss on the hubcarriers (circled in red on the right side of the picture) where it interferes with the suspension arm, as well as remove material (at sort of a 45 degree angle) from the arm where it contacts the back side of the hub carrier (circled red on the left). Finally to gain the most amount of travel, you can remove the parts of the chassis extensions where the tweak screws contact. Remove the tweak screws altogether...you won't really need them for rally.
I put in longer shock shafts and longer shock shaft rod ends to give the car more ground clearance. It runs well as a rally car. I would suggest you get the Pro2 underbody and inner body.
